133: The birth of Devil Fruits, the transformation of Noah's Ark, and the feasibility of creating ship spirits!

PS: There was a slight modification at the end of the previous text.

[Race: tree of omniscience]

[Description: A new species evolved from the tree of life, a subordinate evolutionary branch of the World Tree. It is said to store all knowledge in the world.]

[Talent Skills: Life Vines, Civilization Imprint, Authority's Boon, Tree Kin]

Among the four skills,

Life Vines and Tree Kin were evolutions of the tree of life's original skills.

Authority's Boon,

was a brand new skill born after evolving into a tree of omniscience. It can absorb all extraordinary powers into its body and bestow them upon other creatures by bearing fruit.

“This skill… how is it a bit similar to a devil fruit?”

Su Bai's expression was strange.

However,

acquiring energy through this skill would eliminate most weaknesses, and at the same time, species that consumed this extraordinary fruit would be controlled by the tree of omniscience.

It was a trade-off.

Su Bai looked at the last skill:

[Civilization Imprint: Can store destroyed extraordinary civilizations, turning them into Civilization Imprints.]

[And thereafter, at a certain cost, summon them to the battlefield!]

[Note: Extraordinary civilizations summoned in this manner cannot progress, and their population remains at the moment of their destruction. In contrast, they are absolutely loyal to the user, not hesitating even to die!]

[Duration: 30 minutes!]

[Current Imprint: 1 (Atlantis Civilization)]

Su Bai's eyes lit up.

“I was just regretting that destroying two Silver-Rank Legions like that was too wasteful.”

“Who knew things would take a turn, and in a blink of an eye, it brought me a surprise.”

Su Bai's smile deepened. This way, if similar things happened in the future, he could directly annihilate them and then gain absolutely loyal civilizations.

Perfectly solving the problem of traitors!

...This creation simulator run,

lasted five epochs, with a cooldown period of nearly an hour.

Su Bai was organizing his current resources,

while quietly waiting for the cooldown to end.

At this moment,

three cards floated quietly before Su Bai. Su Bai pondered the uses of the three cards.

“First is Genetic Manipulation. I originally intended to use this S-rank card to modify the flaws of the devil fruit, but with the Authority's Boon skill, the effects overlap.”

“I can keep it.”

Su Bai put away the Genetic Disorder card and looked at the remaining Superhuman Physique and Source of Wisdom cards.

“Superhuman Physique. The humans of the pirate king civilization have extremely abnormal physiques. If augmented with this card, their strength will undoubtedly be further enhanced!”

“Not only that.”

“Superhuman Physique is a series of cards, and its effect is continuous. As long as a portion of the pirate king's humans are migrated to another continent, they can inherit this power.”

“When I later draw high-end martial arts worlds like Fengyun, I will be able to exert even greater power!”

“Perhaps Mythic-level Martial Gods could even be born!”

Su Bai decided to keep this card and use it in the next simulation.

Thus,

only the Source of Wisdom card remained without a specific plan, but Su Bai already had a direction for its handling.

He looked towards the Origin Realm.

At the center of the Four Seas, a giant tree reaching to the heavens and earth was rooted, its emerald green vines waving as if expressing the joy of new life.

Su Bai chuckled softly, “So, I'll give it to the tree of omniscience. Once it gains wisdom and progresses further, it will take on a human form. I wonder what the tree of omniscience will look like after it takes human form.”

The uses of all three cards had been decided,

and the cooldown period had just ended.

Su Bai said faintly, “Start a new round of simulation.”

As his voice fell,

the characters, like coiling dragons, golden-yellow, waved and floated in mid-air, initiating a new round of creation simulation!

...[Current Template: pirate king (Purple)]

[Talents: Kingdom Order (Purple), Gigantified Creatures (Purple), Free Will (Purple)]

Three purple talents!

The first two were retained from the previous simulation, and the last one was newly refreshed, coincidentally fitting the main theme of the pirate king, and was kept by Su Bai.

Immediately after,

the two cards shattered, turning into two streams of light that merged into the Origin Realm, and the simulator's information changed:

[S-rank card 'Superhuman Physique' and SS-rank card 'Source of Wisdom' have been loaded!]

[Starting the journey of creation—]

[In the early First Epoch, all traces of the past were erased, and only a giant tree, reaching to the heavens and earth, stood between the Four Seas!]

[Its name was the tree of omniscience!]

[SS-rank card 'Source of Wisdom' activated!]

[The power of the SS-rank card merged into the tree of omniscience. Instantly, the tree of omniscience's nascent consciousness began to awaken. For the first time in tens of thousands of years, she developed a sense of 'self'.]

[She began to ponder, who was she?]

[Thinking is the source of wisdom, for through thinking, true wisdom gradually arises...]

[As the tree of omniscience pondered, she forgot the passage of time. Meanwhile, the unconsciously emitted life energy attracted many marine creatures to gather there.]

[Gradually...]

[Soil covered the roots, and above the ocean, a new island formed.]

[This island would later be known as 'Ohara'!]

[At the same time.]

[On the other side of the ocean, on the Dragon Clan Continent, humans who had been defeated by the giant dragons finally heard the oracle of God. God instructed them to go to the other side of the ocean, where there was new land left for them by God!]

[Except for a very few Half-bloods, including Angers, most humans joyfully headed towards the Merfolk Clan sea area.]

[After crossing the vast ocean and witnessing the endless sea, they finally arrived at the promised land of God. It was fertile land, a paradise with no dragons present!]

[Humans rejoiced, praising the benevolence of Sacred Terra!]

[At the same time.]

[The Half-bloods who came along, upon entering, immediately felt a power within them being stripped away. They lost the power of Word Spirit!]

[In its place.]

[This power of Word Spirit, following the air, surged into the tree of omniscience, who was pondering life!]

[Skill 'Authority's Boon' activated!]

[This Word Spirit merged with the tree of omniscience and, after a long period, gradually differentiated into three different extraordinary abilities.]

[These were: Logia, Zoan, and Paramecia!]

[devil fruit born, rewarding creation points +600]

[Milestone event 'Origin of Devils' achieved!]

[creation points +1000]

devil fruit without side effects greatly augmented the overall combat power of the pirate civilization!

In the original work,

there were three ways to counter devil fruit: Haki, sea-prism stone, and seawater... The first two, in the final analysis, did not have much impact on devil fruit.

And they were unique products of the pirate civilization.

Even if they could counter devil fruit, they couldn't be obtained by other worlds, making them effectively useless.

Only the last one, seawater,

existed in every world except barren worlds. In a planar war, once the weakness of fruit ability users fearing seawater was exposed,

it would inevitably lead to the enemy's frantic targeting!

How could Su Bai leave such a huge flaw for himself?

“As expected, the Authority's Boon skill not only saved me an S-rank card but also added an effect to control fruit ability users.”

“It's truly killing two birds with one stone.”

Su Bai was very satisfied with this, and at this moment, within the Origin Realm, with the birth of the devil fruit,

the Four Seas, which had been calm for a long time,

also stirred up a new war around the devil fruit!

...[In the mid-First Epoch, with the birth of the devil fruit, the Merfolk Clan and Sea Kings, two extraordinary races, began a frantic scramble for it!]

[At the same time, humans were unwilling to sit idly by, also sending warriors to seize the devil fruit!]

[The three parties were in a stalemate.]

[The great war continued for most of an epoch, until the early Second Epoch, when the war escalated to a fever pitch. The crazed three races, in order not to let the other obtain the devil fruit, even sought to destroy the tree of omniscience!]

[And it was this action.]

[Finally aroused the wrath of the tree of omniscience! The Epic Rank aura surged like giant waves, directly annihilating all the top elites of the three races!]

[And.]

[This time, the tree of omniscience, having reached its limit, and now possessing wisdom, complained to the master of this world.]

[Pleading with Sacred Terra.]

[To completely strip the Sea Kings of their wisdom and restrict the Merfolk Clan to live only at the bottom of the sea for all eternity!]

[Humans were not spared either.]

[The once united humans were thus divided among the Four Seas, plunging into endless internal strife!]

[That wasn't all.]

[In the distance, the noah's ark, docked at the edge of the Four Seas, emitted a wave of fluctuations, seemingly sensing a special energy...]

[It conveyed a special thought, indicating that it was very empty... lonely and unbearable...]

Su Bai's face darkened.

“You, a ship, can also be lonely? Besides, where am I supposed to find you a little female ship???”

But soon,

Su Bai changed his mind, because he understood the noah's ark's true intention.

Ship spirit!

The so-called loneliness and emptiness were not what Su Bai had previously thought, but rather a lack of soul, like a soulless shell that could be destroyed at any time!

The noah's ark had been in a severely damaged state for a long time... Although,

Su Bai had always been looking for ways to repair it, but unfortunately, as a wonder of creation, the noah's ark was extremely difficult to repair, and only the Dragon Clan's Alchemy could slightly help.

But the last time,

after unleashing a Divine Punishment strike, even the Dragon Clan's Alchemy was ineffective.

In this situation, unless Alchemy was upgraded again, which might work, Su Bai had no solution for the noah's ark at all.

But the current situation reminded Su Bai.

There was another way!

Just as when a person is injured, the body's cells automatically repair themselves, similarly, if the noah's ark were to possess a human-like soul, could it also repair itself automatically?

Once the idea was born, it spread irresistibly throughout his mind!

Finally,

Su Bai gritted his teeth and decided to try!

“A ship spirit! Centered around a ship spirit, plus the sea god fragment, if successful, not only can the noah's ark be completely repaired, but it will also no longer require additional energy for future skill releases.”

“It will be completely self-sufficient, and its power will be further enhanced!”

As for the target of the ship spirit... Su Bai didn't hesitate for a moment, directly locking onto a figure: King of Atlantis, formerly Yi Mu, who had recently led Atlantis to challenge Su Bai!

Fulfill your final value, King of Atlantis, formerly Yi Mu!
